Mannequin Hands is a new series featuring ALU Fanatics showing off their “mannequin hands” shade. The one polish that best gives that elongated, flesh-toned look to their hands.

It’s week two of the Mannequin Hands series and today we have Aina from Lacquerholic showing off her manicure. Aina is a MAC NC 43-45 and she chose Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Uber for her mannequin hands look. This is what she has to say about it,

“I really like this shade because even in this day and age, it’s hard to find a good nude that doesn’t look too pale on darker skin. I have so many failed attempts to find a great nude polish, but I think Uber is just about perfect for me!”

Even though it’s not my mannequin hands shade, I’m diggin’ Uber. What say you? Have you found a hand twin in Aina?

Don’t forget, you have until January 15th to share your Mannequin Hands with the group. CLICK HERE for more details.

ps I really want to show off a wide range of skin tones so let’s get some more dark/olive/tan-skinned Fanatics to send in pics!
